Taxpayer Advocacy Panel program to go on temporary administrative suspension

For more than 20 years, the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP), through its team of dedicated volunteer members, has served a vital function in our tax system by advocating for the interests of taxpayers and offering critical feedback to the IRS. The insights and concerns raised by TAP members have historically played an influential role in shaping policies and redefining services that directly affect taxpayers across the nation and abroad. At this time, however, the TAP program will enter a temporary administrative suspension, effective February 13, 2026.

This will include a suspension on the acceptance of new issues and concerns related to improving IRS processes and taxpayer service. Please return to this page for additional updates as they become available.

New Tool Provides Steps Needed to Get Economic Impact
Payments, in Less Than a Minute

The Taxpayer Advocate Service has a new tool called How Do I Get an Economic Impact Payment. It can help anyone determine what steps, if any, need to be taken to receive your payment.

To use this tool, visit TAS’s website and follow the steps outlined. The tool will then prompt you through some simple questions to determine what actions, if any, you need to take based on the answers you provide. It takes less than a minute!

If additional steps are needed to receive your payment, the tool will provide the links and information.

Don’t like to use online tools? No problem, go to our TAS Tax Tip and read through the steps instead.

Visit taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/coronavirus for more information. Both the tool and our Coronavirus Tax Relief page are available in Spanish, too.

Please share this information with your friends and family or host the tool, or our video, on websites, in newsletters, through blogs or social media to help others get more information about how to get their Economic Impact Payments.
